Addressing the ceremony, Dr. Nomal Chandra Borah, Founder-GNRC & Affordable Health Mission, stated that fulfilling humanity’s pressing need for affordable health by bridging access barriers required a multi-dimensional effort encompassing educating various sections of society, continuous advocacy, concerted actions and societal collaboration, which was the reason for the launch of Affordable Health Mission, which combines humane intent, progressive policies, and equitable practices.
He added that this public mission of creating a healthy society has progressed primarily because of the contributions of the Swasthya Mitras, which is why we are honoring them. Our Swasthya Mitras are also working for the success of government schemes like Atal Amrit Abhiyan and Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
